As much as I’d like to let them off the hook with an easy “they’re all psychopaths” excuse, I think there is something more awful at work here: fundamentalism. I’ve been reading up on the neuroscience of fundamentalism and it’s become quite clear to me that the GOP is less a political party, and more a fundamentalist religion. But I don’t want to tip all my cards, I’m working on a post about this. So stay tuned.
